...why people strive to 'be young'
It's a good thing that people strive to be young. People have positive attitudes about their future and their dreams. I know many American people at their ages of 50s still go to school while working hard. I do believe they are young not only at their hearts but also their brains and bodies. | |

Posted: 10/21/2008 7:20:51 PM | Having wonder of nature, life, enjoying the simple things......perhaps this is what is meant by being 'young at heart' -- some people are naturally just Fun to be around, and these same people are often adventurous, inquisitive, happy, with a quick sense of humor, that sort of thing.
There is a time and a place for everything, but it's a pleasure being around someone who can toss seriousness to the side and enjoy the basics of life , laugh easily, feel free for a while, like a bird in flight.
Often these people are very successful, too.....Life is Serious. There are often sad times that are beyond our control, but.....that's part of life. Really don't think of my age, except that I am proud that I made it this long and am as active, agile, and quick as I am......and yes, while I might not bungie jump, there are many things left in life that I want to experience.....
Young at Heart......

I think you are only as old as you feel.
Well get over here so I can feel you and guess your age. 
Personally, I don't know what acting my age is supposed to be like. First of all, I don't act, I just do what I do, when I feel like doing it. Sometimes my body tells me I can't, but that's what ibuprofen is for. And since I don't need little blue pills, maybe I'm not acting my age?
And I don't understand what young at heart is supposed to mean either. The young are happy and clueless, I hope a woman my age isn't clueless. Personally, I'm 57 at heart. That means I'm happy and I know why I'm happy. (No teachers, no books, no diapers, no mustard poop). | |

Posted: 7/30/2009 11:26:24 AM | A couple of weeks ago I was looking at the fitness center's booklet and saw that they had a discount for seniors' and realized that I was able to get the discount because it started at age 55. I thought Great! I am 61. Some days I feel old and other days I feel young. I am active both physically and mentally. I behave just the way this 61 year old woman is supposed to act and feel. Age is only a number. It is our attitude toward age that can become an issue if we let it. | |

Posted: 9/11/2009 5:24:16 PM | | I don't think in terms of young at heart or young for my age or anything like that. I am just me and am pretty cruising at the same altitude as I have been for most of my adult life: attitude, approach to life, and energy level . I do have an aversion to people who are embracing a certain attitude which they think is appropriate for those on the downhill slope. | |

Posted: 9/11/2009 6:23:16 PM | | I know I am old and my joints remind me all the time. I am not as fast at things as I once was but I like to keep my mind active by learning new things. That alone helps me stay young , mentally. | |

Posted: 11/24/2009 5:44:05 PM | I am not afraid of getting older! In fact I think I look better than I did when I was a few years longer. I enjoy being my age, I have experience, and wisdom, and see things a whole lot different than I did when I was younger. My Children are grown and now I have time for myself. I do take care of myself, I work out! I go out dancing, I am always trying new things. This past summer I went parasailing for the first time. I am not trying to look like a woman half my age. I really do not feel like it all has to do with age any way. It is the way you feel inside. Remeber that song!! Forever young!! | |

Posted: 11/24/2009 9:28:12 PM | | If "young at heart" means a childlike attitude, a sense of wonder, an appreciation of the simple things, taking time to smell the roses, can relate well to kids, I'm still young at heart, and will always try to be. What's the alternative? DEATH. | |

Posted: 11/24/2009 9:46:28 PM | I think a person's appearance and lifestyle reflect who they are. There shouldn't be any need to tell people how you approach life, they can see for themselves. I've read posts from people in response to posts I or someone else have made that assume things about the other because of age or because some people just jump to conclusions. Recently, one poster on here responded to a post of mine by, in effect, telling me to start living and and not be afraid to be adventurous. That's a comment I've had directed toward me numerous times on these forms, usually from middle age men, who assume all middle age women are just sitting at home, maybe gardening and sewing? Ironically, with few exceptions, my life is more 'adventurous' and interesting than the men who have thrown this accusation at me. However, I believe that if I have to tell someone who automatically judges and stereotypes people...if I have to specify that I am still living, thinking, functioning, etc., as I was when younger, then this is someone with a closed mind and someone I'm not interested in. If they took the time to get to know me and know about me, they would know what I'm like. If they don't like who I am, fine, but assuming someone is an old 'fuddy duddy' stay at home stick in mud simply because of age ....to make that assumption actually shows what an 'old fuddy' the assumption maker is.
I don't use the phrase 'young at heart' Never have, never will. I am just me. | |

I totally agree with this. You can pretty much tell a whole lot about someone by their appearance and lifestyle..
No need to say it..

Posted: 11/25/2009 5:33:47 AM | I have also skied with some awesome skiers well into their 80's skied a nasty mogul run with a guy who was 76 years old.
Young at heart is just an expression.
I was thinking of putting in my profile " Young at Brain" I'm still as dumb and clueless as I was at 18. | |

Posted: 11/25/2009 12:45:02 PM | To me, young at heart means a person wants to stay current and relevant.
Being in step or in tune with the times rather than resisting changes simply because that's the way I have always done it.
A willingness to be aware of what's new, changes(social attitudes for instance), and assimilate the things that are of interest, understand and in some cases accept current thinking (remember when if a girl got pregnant, she was sent away for a while or disabled persons were routinely institutionalized) and practices. This is not to say that one tosses discernment aside and jump on the bandwagon just because it's popular.
To be engaged in living fully. To have, on some level, a sense of adventure. | |

Posted: 11/25/2009 1:05:10 PM | | As soon as I read I look younger than I am.....I am gone gone. I am my age. I feel right whenever I am with people my age. I am not battling my age. In fact dang happy to be my age. The wrinkles are hard earned. I have worked hard and played a lot and to be this age at this very moment makes me happy. I don't have to pretend to be younger, cuter, sexier than my younger counter parts....I rejoice whenever I truly see people my age that look younger and think hooray for them. As for myself I am not delusional. Whenever I study the mirror or have my daughter come over it reminds me of the fact that I am blessed to be her Mother. My long term friends remind me that I am blessed to have such great friends. It also reminds me that my Husband died way before his time. And that time has helped heal me. So being a bit older has its perks it also has its reminders of hard times. And I hopefully will age with dignity and grace. | |

Posted: 11/25/2009 5:47:54 PM | I don`t like the " young at heart " phrase either. That one is tied with the other one I cannot stand when I read : " I have a zest for life "
And last but far from least as another poster stated when I read: I look younger then my age. Well duh...... if you REALLY looked younger then your age and have a few pics posted....dontcha think it will be painfully obvious and you will not have to or feel a need to remind us ?
Ooooh paaalease
